a good bra? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Who can suggest a good, seamless, padless bra that does not ride up in the back??? I have been wearing Wonderbra # 1219 which is fine for the first couple of times I wear them... then up it goes. I am a 36 with a full B cup. I wash them gently and do not put them in the dryer. Who out there can suggest a really good bra. Tx Karon

Have you tried Victoria's Secret bra's? They are awesome, they are expensive but last forever and are super comfy. If you haven't tried them you really should.

I agree...Victoria's Secret. But you don't have to necessarily spend a lot of money. I got a few cotton bras for $15-20. They come in many colors, with racerback, back or front closure, etc etc. I once got a simple cotton bra from Walmart for $4 and it is the worst cotton imaginable. I've opted to spend more and save time not having to itch or adjust myself every five minutes.

the general rule is if you put it on and it rides up in the back before it's stretched or anything, it's too big around.

my suggestion? go to a good store like victoria secret, jcpenney, or kohls (kohls is REALLY good.. brand names for below sale prices) grab a bunch of different styles, and try them on, if they still do it.. pick some you liked and get them in the next size down, to go down 1 size in a bra, you need to get the next rib size down, and the next cup size up, so you might want to try a 34c.. believe it or not.. doing it that way you're really getting the exact same cup size, just a smaller rib size.

the best way to find a good bra is just to try them on, don't listen to those posters in stores that tell you how to fit them or anything else.. they're rarely right.. just take your current size, and try on different styles and sizes untill you find something that works
